Kansas City Online (KC.NET) Hacked
9/15/98 9:26AM PDT
The website provider KC.NET has been hacked by a group called "Havok".
A person by the name os OseK is taking credit for the hack, although
there appear to be several people who go by this handle. We have no
proof that the person who broke into the KC.NET network actually goes by
the name OseK, however the hacked sites do have this handle all over
them. After speaking with KC.NET we have learned that the crackers made
use of a bug in IRIX's "at" command that has no patch at this time.
They have been forced to block all outside access to shell accounts in
an attempt to block future attacks.
